The preference program determination unit 12 determines a preference program that the user prefers based on the log data. At this time, the preference program determiner 12 may determine the preference program based on time information of the broadcast program included in the log data. For example, the preference program determiner 12 may determine a broadcast program displayed over a predetermined time of the broadcast program as the preferred program based on time information of the broadcast program included in the log data.

The preference program determiner 12 may determine the preference program for each channel based on time information of the broadcast program and channel information of the broadcast program included in the log data. For example, the preference program determiner 12 classifies a broadcast program by channels based on time information of the broadcast program and channel information of the broadcast program included in the log data, and includes a predetermined time or more for each time zone among the classified broadcast programs. The displayed broadcast program may be determined as a preferred program. In this case, the preferred program determiner 12 may determine the preferred program by applying different weights for each channel or time. In addition, the preferred program determiner 12 may determine a plurality of preferred programs for each time zone. In this case, the preferred program determiner 12 compares display times of each of the broadcast programs, and ranks the top N broadcasts according to the comparison result. You can choose the program as your preferred program.

The preference program determiner 12 may determine the preference program based on the number of times the broadcast program is displayed. For example, the preference program determiner 12 may determine the number of times displayed for each week for each broadcast program, and determine the preferred program among the broadcast programs based on the identified number. At this time, the displayed number may be set to be counted only when the corresponding broadcast program is played longer than a predetermined time.

The preference program determiner 12 determines a preference of the broadcast program based on a ratio between the time when the broadcast program is actually displayed on the display and the broadcast time of the preset broadcast program, and among the plurality of broadcast programs based on the determined preference. You can determine your preferred program. For example, the preference program determiner 12 may determine the percentage of the time when the first broadcast program is actually displayed among the broadcast programs and the total broadcast time (for example, the playback time) preset in the first broadcast program. The first broadcast program may be determined as the preference of the first broadcast program, and the first broadcast program may be determined as the preferred program when the determined ratio is 80% or more. In addition, the preference program determiner 12 may compare the preferences of the respective broadcast programs and determine the top N broadcast programs among the broadcast programs as the preferred broadcast program.

The preference program determiner 12 may determine a preference program based on input information input from a user. Referring to FIG. 1, when the user 40 inputs input information for selecting at least one or more of a broadcast program as a preferred program using the input device 41, the preferred program determiner 12 may input such input information. Based on the at least one or more may be determined as a preferred program.

When each of the broadcast programs is displayed on the display through re-broadcast or displayed on the display in the form of a recorded broadcast, the preference program determining unit 12 may also use information related to each display as log data of each broadcast program. have. At this time, it is apparent to those skilled in the art that information related to each display may also be stored in the storage unit 15.

The channel generator 13 generates a preference channel including at least one of the preference programs based on the current time. For example, the channel generator 13 may generate a preference channel including N preference programs having high preference by comparing the preferences of the preferred programs. At this time, the preference channel may mean a user-customized channel that is distinguished from a general channel including a broadcast program as described above.

The channel generator 13 may generate the favorite channel based on the current time and time information of each of the preferred programs. For example, the channel generator 13 may generate a favorite channel by organizing a favorite program corresponding to each time zone in the preferred channel for each time zone to be based on the current time. In this case, organizing a preference program into a preference channel may be used in the same sense as generating a preference channel including a preference program.

The channel generation unit 13 may determine that the first preference program and the second preference program among the preference programs have different channel information from each other, and when there is a time overlap between the first preference program and the second preference program, After the preference program, a preference channel is created such that the second program is organized. Referring to FIG. 1, the user 40 may view all of the different broadcast programs included in different general channels at the same time, and the preference program determiner 12 may view each of the different broadcast programs as the first preferred program and the first. 2 You can choose your favorite program. At this time, watching all includes watching different broadcasting programs alternately or watching every other day. In addition, since the user 40 may watch any one of different broadcast programs through re-broadcast, all of the different programs may be determined as the preferred program.

Referring to FIG. 1, the channel generator 13 may organize both a first preference program and a second preference program in which a broadcasting time is overlapped but a broadcasting time is overlapped in a preferred channel. In this case, for example, the video display device 10 may have a first preference based on a current time of a first preferred program played back at 8 pm on the A channel and a second preferred program played back at 8 pm at the B channel. The program may be organized at 8 pm of the favorite channel, and the second preference program may be organized at 8:50 pm of the favorite channel. At this time, the preference of the first preference program may be greater than that of the second preference program.

The channel generator 13 may generate a favorite channel by organizing at least one or more of the favorite programs in the favorite channel at predetermined time intervals from the current time. For example, if the current time is 4 pm, the channel generator 13 divides the time after 4 pm into one hour interval, organizes at least one favorite program at 5 pm, and at least 6 pm One preference program can be organized. Through this, the user can use the broadcast program that he / she wants for each time zone by simply turning on the channel imaging apparatus 10. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the channel generator 13 may change the programming contents of the preferred channel in real time in response to itself or to input information input from the user.

Can be extracted and displayed on the display. For example, the image display unit 14 confirms that the current time is 5 pm, and the image of the first preferred program organized at 5 pm of the favorite channel from the broadcasting station server 20 in the form of a real-time broadcast program image. And at the same time receives a video of the second preferred program organized at 5:50 pm of the preferred channel from the broadcasting station server 20 in the form of a real-time broadcast program video, and the received video of the first preferred program is displayed on the display. Through the display, the received image of the second preferred program may be stored in the storage unit 20 and displayed on the display from 5:50 pm. In this case, the broadcast program corresponding to the second preferred program is organized on the general channel from 5 pm and may be a broadcast program having channel information different from the first preferred program.

The image display unit 14 may receive advertisement schedule information from the advertisement server 30 and display advertisements between at least one or more images of the preferred program based on the received advertisement schedule information. In this case, the advertisement schedule information may be information indicating that a plurality of advertisements are sequentially arranged for each time zone. In addition, the advertisement scheduling information may be information indicating that an advertisement is to be inserted between predetermined broadcast programs. The image display unit 14 may display an advertisement by inserting an advertisement between at least one image of the preferred program based on the broadcast programming information. In this case, the image display unit 14 may select or insert an advertisement in consideration of the propensity of the user determined through the process of determining the preferred program from the broadcast program.
